The last thing I want to is to seem racist, however I feel like I need to talk about this argument.
I see many Indians on this site that keep yapping that a full Indian roster could do wonders of any kind.
The Indian scene rn is very bad (imo) and does not have many players ready to play in T1.
Although I think there are better talents than Russ, he's probably the best Indian player to have on a franchising roster due to his experience.
GE does not have a full Indian roster because there aren't many indian players good enough for franchising. It's not a complot.
India's best T2 team went 0-4 in 2023 ascension.
Now if from now on India's valorant scene improves a lot and gets great results, I'll be the first to be happy for the fanbase and for the players, but until then, this is the situation.
Stop yapping like India has great talents, it's just false.
And I want to underline that this does not come from a position of hate, after all I understand what it means for your country to suck at valorant, I'm in your same position. So don't keep telling lies to yourselves :)
